re: there is nothing one can really do over the other.
No, thats not true. CF, for example, cannot do proper IO (eg: read a file a
line at a time as opposed to having to read an entire file into memory) And
there are plenty of other things CF just cannot do that can be done in
Asp.Net. (With CF, this has to be acheived by way of Java programming)
re: If you're a part-time programmer I would use CF.
Just becuase of "part time" that doesn't mean they don't need a powerful
solution at the expense of a slightly higher up front learning curve. Thats
just me - as in, if you are going to do a job, do it right first time. Most
people who go with CF end up having to ditch when they realise the
limitations (hosting, support, resources, etc)
